n train which was moving out from a
station near by, was borne away 10
Chattanooga. by that one act he had
forfeited q flourishing business and the
companionship of wife, children, and
friends, and become fugitive.
From Chattanooga he went to st.
Iouis and Kansas City, and then took
refuge on the plains OF Montana. There
he lived for several years, and by hard
work and taking his own part" when
ever necessary became q partner in
prosperous cattle business. All this
time he went by the name OF Robert
Brown. He dared not write home, and
his family and friends were left in
doubt as to whether he was alive or
dead. He could not rest content, even
with a fortune in view, and finally turn
ed the ranch over to his partner, and
wandered away to the City Of Mexico.
There he was recognized by several OF
his old comrades in Forests cavalry, in
which command he had risen by gal
liant conduct on the field to the rank OF
colonel. They kept his secret, aud he
embarked in business there. @Fortune
favored him once more, and everything
he touched turned to gold. He re-
NAMED in the City of Mexico six or
eight years, and then, overcome by a
longing TO see his wife and children at
all hazards, he started for home.
For some reason he did not carry out
this design. but stopped on the way at
a farm which he owned near Newport,
Ark. There he lived until few weeks
ago, when the welcome news came that
the two men he had shot were not dead
They had recovered, after a long strug-
gle against the effects of their terrible
wounds, and then left the country.
At the time of the shooting the grand
jury was in session. 1t was reported to
that body that Bowden and Read had
died OF their wounds, and an
indictment was at one found against
Smith charging him with muir
der in the first degree Through some
oversight this indictment waslett stand
ing as originally drawn, and this fact
was reported to Smith. But it weighed
nothing against his yearnlng 10 see MS
family and clear his name. SO as soon
as possible after hearing the news he
returned to his old home. He found
the little children he had left eighteen
years before now grown to manhood
and womanhood, and the handsome
young wife a grave and middle-aged
matron. His arrival was reported
to the authorities, and in due time the
trial came off at Bolivar, the county
seat Of Hardeman county, wherein
Salisbury is also situated. 1t resulted
i'll the acquittal of the accused, as al
ready stated. Colonel Smith is now a
wealthy man, and he has had enough of
wandering. He intends to devote the
remainder of his life to the domestic
duties and pleasures from which he
was so long debarred.
